Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a simple and economically interesting process for preparing substituted indanones.
  • Substituted indanones are important intermediates for preparing active compounds in the fields of pharmacy and crop protection (cf. S. J. deSolms et al., J. Med. Chem., 1978, 21, 437) and for preparing metallocene complexes (cf. Chemie in shu shuffle, 1994, 28, 204, 205).
  • substituted indanones can be used to prepare bridged chiral metallocenes which are of great importance as highly active catalysts in olefin polymerization (cf. EP-A 129 368).
  • the catalyst properties can be influenced in a targeted manner by variation of the ligand system, eg. by substitution.
  • the ligand systems used for these highly active metallocenes are prepared from the corresponding indenes which are in turn obtained from indanones which are substituted in the appropriate positions (EP 0 576 970 A1; EP 0 629 632 A2).
  • indanones are synthesized from commercially available precursors or precursors known in the literature, for example as follows:
  • the 2-methyl-4-phenylindanone is converted into the corresponding indene, for example by reduction of the ketone function to the alcohol and subsequent dehydration.

Description

This application is a divisional application of application Ser. No. 10/199,081, filed Jul. 22, 2002, now allowed, which is a divisional application of application Ser. No. 09/380,396, filed Sep. 1, 1999, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,492,539, which is the National Stage Application under 35 U.S.C. 371 of International Application No. PCT/EP98/01232, filed Mar. 5, 1998.
The present invention relates to a simple and economically interesting process for preparing substituted indanones.
Substituted indanones are important intermediates for preparing active compounds in the fields of pharmacy and crop protection (cf. S. J. deSolms et al., J. Med. Chem., 1978, 21, 437) and for preparing metallocene complexes (cf. Chemie in unserer Zeit, 1994, 28, 204, 205). In particular, substituted indanones can be used to prepare bridged chiral metallocenes which are of great importance as highly active catalysts in olefin polymerization (cf. EP-A 129 368). The catalyst properties can be influenced in a targeted manner by variation of the ligand system, eg. by substitution. This makes it possible to achieve the desired degree of change in the polymer yield, the tacticity or the melting point of the polymers (New J. Chem., 1990, 14, 499; Organomet., 1990, 9, 3098; Angew. Chem., 1990, 102, 339; EP-A 316 155; EP-A 351 392). Bridged zirconocenes containing, as π ligands, substituted indenyl radicals which bear the bridge in position1, preferably a hydrocarbon radical in position 2 and a hydrocarbon radical, preferably an aryl radical, in position 4 have been found to be particularly active and stereoselective catalyst systems (EP 0 576 970 A1; EP 0 629 632 A2). The ligand systems used for these highly active metallocenes are prepared from the corresponding indenes which are in turn obtained from indanones which are substituted in the appropriate positions (EP 0 576 970 A1; EP 0 629 632 A2). These indanones are synthesized from commercially available precursors or precursors known in the literature, for example as follows:
Figure US07038070-20060502-C00002
The 2-methyl-4-phenylindanone is converted into the corresponding indene, for example by reduction of the ketone function to the alcohol and subsequent dehydration.
Figure US07038070-20060502-C00003
Figure US07038070-20060502-C00004
The three synthetic routes shown by way of example go through 2-, 4-substituted indanones which have in each case been obtained by Friedel-Crafts cyclization of the corresponding 3-arylpropionic acids. The syntheses are multistage processes in which relatively expensive starting compounds are used. Furthermore, in the syntheses disclosed in EP 0 629 632, the introduction of a protective group cannot be avoided. The processes shown are thus very costly routes.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to find a simple, flexible, inexpensive process for preparing substituted indanones which are important intermediates for preparing active compounds and metallocene complexes.
We have now surprisingly found that substituted indanones which contain a leaving group can be used to prepare, in a simple manner, other indanones which can be used, inter alia, for preparing active compounds and metallocene complexes.
The present invention accordingly provides a process for the preparation of indanones of the formula II from indanones of the formula I or of indanones of the formula IIa from indanones of the formula Ia

In the process of the present invention, at least one indanone of the formula I or Ia is reacted with at least one coupling component, forming the indanones of the formulae II and IIa. In this reaction, the coupling component serves to introduce the radical R3. It is also possible for the coupling component to convert one or more of the radicals Y1, Y2 and Y3 which are as defined for X into radicals Y4, Y5 and Y6 which are as defined for R3.
The coupling components are preferably compounds containing elements of Groups 13-17 of the Periodic Table of the Elements. The coupling components are preferably compounds containing boron, carbon, silicon, germanium, tin, phosphorus or fluorine. The coupling components are particularly preferably compounds containing boron, carbon, silicon, tin or phosphorus.
Preferred boron-containing coupling components are boronic acids and boronic esters, for example of the type

The indanones of the formula I or Ia can be prepared by methods similar to those known from the literature (eg. U.S. Pat. No. 5,489,712; U.S. Pat. No. 4,070,539; S. J. deSolms et al., J. Med. Chem., 1978, 21, 437). To prepare indanones of the formula I, for example, an aryl alkyl ketone of the formula (A) can be methylenated and subsequently subjected to a Nazarov cyclization.
Figure US07038070-20060502-C00011
R1, X, Y1, Y2 and Y3 in the formulae A, B and I are as defined above for formula I.
In the case of an aryl alkyl ketone, the methylene group can, for example, be introduced by an aldol condensation with formaldehyde as methylene source or by a Mannich reaction, in which, for example, N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyldiaminomethane, Eschenmoser's salt or urotropien/acetic anhydride can be used as methylene source. It is indicated in the literature (U.S. Pat. No. 5,489,712) that the aldol condensation of formaldehyde, which is the most inexpensive methylene source, and aryl alkyl ketones proceeds in poor yields and the management of the reaction is said to be complicated. M. M. Curzu et al. in Synthesis (1984) 339 state that in the aldol condensation of formaldehyde and certain aryl alkyl ketones, considerable amounts of starting material remain unreacted and undesirable by-products such as the primary aldol product containing a hydroxymethyl group are present in the end product.
It has surprisingly been found that the aldol condensation (ie. the introduction of the methylene group) of aryl alkyl ketones proceeds virtually quantitatively under basic conditions using formaldehyde, and the primary aldol product containing a hydroxymethyl group cannot be observed spectroscopically. Here, preferred aryl alkyl ketones of the formula A are those in which X is a halogen.
The aldol condensation is carried out using a formaldehyde source, preferably aqueous formalin solution, and a base, preferably an alkali metal carbonate or alkaline earth metal carbonate or an alkali metal hydroxide or alkaline earth metal hydroxide, particularly preferably an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, at 0-100° C., preferably 20-60° C. The molar ratio of base to aryl alkyl ketone is in the range from 0.01 to 5, preferably in the range from 0.1 to 2. The molar ratio of formaldehyde to aryl alkyl ketone is in the range from 0.5 to 1.5, preferably in the range from 0.9 to 1.2. The concentration of the aryl alkyl ketone in the reaction mixture (total volume) is in the range from 0.01 to 6 mol/l, preferably from 0.1 to 2 mol/l. The aryl alkyl ketone can be diluted with inert solvents such as ethers, hydrocarbons or halogenated hydrocarbons. The reaction can be carried out in a single-phase or multiphase system. In the case of multiphase reaction mixtures, phase transfer catalysts can be added to accelerate the reaction. The reaction time is usually from 15 minutes to 12 hours or longer. The reaction can also be carried out in an inert gas atmosphere and the pressure in the reaction vessel can be either below or above atmospheric pressure.
The subsequent cyclization to form the indanone is carried out by literature methods (J. H. Burckhalter, R. C. Fuson, J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 1948, 70, 4184; E. D. Thorsett, F. R. Stermitz, Synth. Commun., 1972, 2, 375; Synth. Commun., A. Bhattacharya, B. Segmuller, A. Ybarra, 1996, 26, 1775; U.S. Pat. No. 5,489,712). The cyclization is preferably carried out under acid conditions. As cyclization reagent, it is possible to use acids such as protic acids (eg. sulfuric acid, polyphosphoric acid, methanesulfonic acid) or Lewis acids (eg. aluminum trichloride, boron trifluoride). The reaction product from the aldol condensation can be diluted with an inert solvent before addition to the cyclization reagent, or can be added in undiluted form.
To prepare indanones of the formula I and Ia in which X is an oxygen-containing leaving group, for example a triflate group, the starting materials used are preferably hydroxyindanones, some of which are known from the literature (eg. Bringmann et al., Liebigs Ann. Chem., 1985, 2116-2125), and the hydroxy group is converted by literature methods into an oxygen-containing leaving group X, eg. triflate (eg.: P. J. Stang, Synthesis, 1982, 85; V. Percec, J. Org. Chem., 1995, 60, 176; Autorenkollektiv, Organikum, V E B Deutscher Verlag der Wissenschaften, 1976).
Some of the aryl alkyl ketones are known from the literature or they can easily be prepared by literature methods (eg.: R. C. Larock, Comprehensive Organic Transformations, VCH, 1989).

Further examples are the titanocenes and hafnocenes corresponding to the zirconocenes listed above.
The metallocenes which can be prepared from indanones via indenes are highly active catalyst components for olefin polymerization. Depending on the substitution pattern of the ligands, the metallocenes can be formed as a mixture of isomers. For the polymerization, the metallocenes are preferably used in isomerically pure form. The use of the racemate is sufficient in most cases.
However, it is also possible to use the pure enantiomer in the (+) or (−) form. An optically active polymer can be prepared using the pure enantiomers. However, the configurational isomers of the metallocenes should be separated off, since the polymerization-active center (the metal atom) in these compounds usually produces a polymer having different properties. For certain applications, for example flexible moldings, this can be quite desirable.
The present invention therefore also provides a process for preparing a polyolefin by polymerization of at least one olefin in the presence of a catalyst comprising at least one cocatalyst and at least one stereorigid metallocene compound of the formula I. For the purposes of the present invention, the term polymerization encompasses both homopolymerization and copolymerization.
In the process of the present invention, preference is given to polymerizing one or more olefins of the formula Rα—CH═CH—Rβ, where Rα and Rβ are identical or different and are each a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon radical having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, in particular from 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and Rα and Rβ together with the atoms connecting them may form one or more rings. Examples of such olefins are 1-olefins having from 2 to 40 carbon atoms, preferably 2-10 carbon atoms, for example ethylene, propylene, 1-butene, 1-pentene, 1-hexene, 4-methyl-1-pentene or 1-octene, styrene, dienes such as 1,3-butadiene, isoprene, 1,4-hexadiene or cyclic olefins such as norbornene or ethylidenenorbornene. In the process of the present invention, preference is given to homopolymerizing ethylene or propylene or copolymerizing ethylene with one or more cyclic olefins such as norbornene and/or one or more acyclic 1-olefins having from 3 to 20 carbon atoms, eg. propylene, and/or one or more dienes having from 4 to 20 carbon atoms, eg. 1,3-butadiene or 1,4-hexadiene. Examples of such copolymers are ethylene-norbornene copolymers, ethylene-propylene copolymers and ethylene-propylene-1,4-hexadiene copolymers.
The polymerization is preferably carried out at from −60 to 250° C., particularly preferably from 50 to 200° C. The pressure is preferably from 0.5 to 2000 bar, particularly preferably from 5 to 64 bar.
The polymerization can be carried out in solution, in bulk, in suspension or in the gas phase, continuously or batchwise, in one or more stages. Preferred embodiments are gas-phase and solution polymerization.
The catalyst used in the process of the present invention preferably comprises one metallocene compound. It is also possible to use mixtures of two or more metallocene compounds, eg. for preparing polyolefins having a broad or multimodal molar mass distribution.
In principle, suitable cocatalysts for the process of the present invention are all compounds which, owing to their Lewis acidity, can convert the neutral metallocene into a cation and stabilize the latter (“labile coordination”). Furthermore, the catalyst or the anion formed therefrom should undergo no further reactions with the metallocene cation formed (EP 427 697). The cocatalyst used is preferably an aluminum compound and/or a boron compound.
The boron compound preferably has the formula Ra xNH4−xBRb 4, Ra xpH4−xBRb 4, Ra 3CBRb 4 or BRb 3, where x is from 1 to 4, preferably 3, the radicals Ra are identical or different, preferably identical, and are C1-C10-alkyl or C8-C18-aryl or two radicals Ra together with the atoms connecting them form a ring, and the radicals Rb are identical or different, preferably identical, and are C6-C18-aryl which may be substituted by alkyl, haloalkyl or fluorine. In particular, Ra is ethyl, propyl, butyl or phenyl and Rb is phenyl, pentafluorophenyl, 3,5-bistrifluoromethylphenyl, mesityl, xylyl or tolyl (EP 277 003, EP 277 004 and EP 426 638).
As cocatalyst, preference is given to using an aluminum compound such as aluminoxane and/or an aluminum alkyl.
The cocatalyst used is particularly preferably an aluminoxane, in particular of the formula C for the linear type and/or the formula D for the cyclic type,
Figure US07038070-20060502-C00016
where, in the formulae C and D, the radicals RC are identical or different and are each hydrogen or a C1-C20-hydrocarbon group such as a C1-C18-alkyl group, a C6-C18-aryl group or benzyl, and p is an integer from 2 to 50, preferably from 10 to 35.
Preferably, the radicals RC are identical and are hydrogen, methyl, isobutyl, phenyl or benzyl, particularly preferably methyl.
If the radicals RC are different, they are preferably methyl and hydrogen or alternatively methyl and isobutyl, with hydrogen or isobutyl preferably being present in a numerical proportion of from 0.01 to 40% (of the radicals RC).
The methods of preparing the aluminoxanes are known. The precise spatial structure of the aluminoxanes is not known (J. Am. Chem. Soc. (1993) 115, 4971). For example, it is conceivable that chains and rings are joined to form larger two-dimensional or three-dimensional structures.
Regardless of the method of preparation, all aluminoxane solutions have in common a variable content of unreacted aluminum starting compound which is present in free form or as adduct.
It is possible to preactivate the metallocene compound with a cocatalyst, in particular an aluminoxane, before use in the polymerization reaction. This significantly increases the polymerization activity. The preactivation of the metallocene compound is preferably carried out in solution. Here, the metallocene compound is preferably dissolved in a solution of the aluminoxane in an inert hydrocarbon. Suitable inert hydrocarbons are aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons. Preference is given to using toluene.
The concentration of the aluminoxane in the solution is in the range from about 1% by weight to the saturation limit, preferably from 5 to 30% by weight, in each case based on the total amount of solution. The metallocene can be used in the same concentration but it is preferably used in an amount of from 10−4 to 1 mol per mol of aluminoxane. The preactivation time is from 5 minutes to 60 hours, preferably from 5 to 60 minutes. The preactivation is carried out at from −78 to 100° C., preferably from 0 to 80° C.
The metallocene compound is preferably employed in a concentration, based on the transition metal, of from 10−3 to 10−8 mol, preferably from 10−4 to 10−7 mol, of transition metal per dm3 of solvent or per dm3 of reactor volume. The aluminoxane is preferably used in a concentration of from 10−6 to 10−1 mol, preferably from 10−5 to 10−2 mol, per dm3 of solvent or per dm3 of reactor volume. The other cocatalysts mentioned are used in approximately equimolar amounts to the metallocene compound. However, higher concentrations are also possible in principle.
The aluminoxane can be prepared in various ways by known methods. One of the methods is, for example, reacting an aluminum-hydrocarbon compound and/or a hydridoaluminum-hydrocarbon compound with water (gaseous, solid, liquid or bound—for example as water of crystallization) in an inert solvent (for example toluene). To prepare an aluminoxane having different radicals RC, for example, two different aluminum trialkyls corresponding to the desired composition are reacted with water.
To remove catalyst poisons present in the olefin, a purification step using an aluminum compound, preferably an aluminum alkyl such as trimethylaluminum or triethylaluminum, is advantageous. This purification can be carried out either in the polymerization system itself or the olefin is brought into contact with the aluminum compound and subsequently separated off again before addition to the polymerization system.
As molar mass regulator and/or to increase the catalyst activity, hydrogen can be added in the process of the present invention. This makes it possible to obtain low molecular weight polyolefins such as waxes.
In the process of the present invention, the metallocene compound is preferably reacted with the cocatalyst outside the polymerization reactor in a separate step using a suitable solvent. In this step, the catalyst can be applied to a support.
In the process of the present invention, a prepolymerization can be carried out by means of the metallocene compound. The prepolymerization is preferably carried out using the (or one of the) olefin(s) used in the polymerization.
The catalyst used in the process of the present invention can be supported. The application to a support enables, for example, the particle morphology of the polyolefin prepared to be controlled. Here, the metallocene compound can be reacted first with the support and subsequently with the cocatalyst. The cocatalyst can also be supported first and subsequently reacted with the metallocene compound. It is also possible to apply the reaction product of metallocene compound and cocatalyst to a support. Suitable support materials are, for example, silica gels, aluminum oxides, solid aluminoxane or other inorganic support materials such as magnesium chloride. Another suitable support material is a polyolefin powder in finely divided form. The supported cocatalyst can be prepared, for example, as described in EP 567 952.
Preferably, the cocatalyst, eg. aluminoxane, is applied to a support such as silica gels, aluminum oxides, solid aluminoxane, other inorganic support materials or else a polyolefin powder in finely divided form and then reacted with the metallocene.
As inorganic supports, it is possible to use oxides which have been produced flame-pyrolytically by combustion of element halides in a hydrogen/oxygen flame or can be prepared as silica gels having particular particle size distributions and particle shapes.
The preparation of the supported cocatalyst can be carried out, for example, as described in EP 578 838 in the following manner in a stainless steel reactor having an explosion-proof design with a pumped circulation system and a pressure rating of 60 bar, with inert gas supply, temperature control by means of jacket cooling and a second cooling circuit via a heat exchanger on the pumped circulation system. The pumped circulation system draws in the reactor contents via a connection in the bottom of the reactor by means of a pump and pushes it into a mixer and through a riser line via a heat exchanger back into the reactor. The mixer is configured such that in the inlet there is located a constricted tube cross section where the flow velocity is increased and into the turbulence zone of which there is introduced, axially and opposite to the flow direction, a thin feed line through which, pulsed, a defined amount of water under 40 bar of argon can be fed in. The reaction is monitored by means of a sampler on the pumped circulation system.
However, other reactors are also suitable in principle.
The above-described reactor having a volume of 16 dm3 is charged with 5 dm3 of decane under inert conditions. 0.5 dm3 (=5.2 mol) of trimethylaluminum are added at 25° C. 250 g of silica gel SD 3216-30 (Grace AG), which have been dried beforehand at 120° C. in an argon-fluidized bed, are then introduced into the reactor through a solids funnel and are homogeneously distributed by means of the stirrer and the pumped circulation system. A total amount of 76.5 g of water is added to the reactor in portions of 0.1 cm3 every 15 seconds over a period of 3.25 hours. The pressure, caused by the argon and the gases evolved, is kept constant at 10 bar by means of a pressure regulation valve. After all the water has been introduced, the pumped circulation system is switched off and stirring is continued for another 5 hours at 25° C.
The supported cocatalyst prepared in this way is used as a 10% strength suspension in n-decane. The aluminum content is 1.06 mmol of Al per cm3 of suspension. The isolated solid contains 31% by weight of aluminum and the suspension medium contains 0.1% by weight of aluminum.
Further possible ways of preparing a supported cocatalyst are described in EP 578 838.
The metallocene of the present invention is then applied to the supported cocatalyst by stirring the dissolved metallocene with the supported cocatalyst. The solvent is removed and replaced by a hydrocarbon in which both cocatalyst and the metallocene are insoluble.
The reaction to form the supported catalyst system is carried out at from −20 to +120° C., preferably from 0 to 100° C., particularly preferably from 15 to 40° C. The metallocene is reacted with the supported cocatalyst by combining the cocatalyst as a suspension having a concentration of from 1 to 40% by weight, preferably from 5 to 20% by weight, in an aliphatic, inert suspension medium such as n-decane, hexane, heptane or diesel oil with a solution of the metallocene in an inert solvent such as toluene, hexane, heptane or dichloromethane or with the finely milled solid metallocene. Conversely, a solution of the metallocene can also be reacted with the solid cocatalyst.
The reaction is carried out by intensive mixing, for example by stirring, at a molar Al/M1 ratio of from 100/1 to 10,000/1, preferably from 100/1 to 3000/1, and a reaction time of from 5 to 120 minutes, preferably from 10 to 60 minutes, particularly preferably from 10 to 30 minutes, under inert conditions. During the reaction time for preparing the supported catalyst system, particularly when using the metallocenes of the present invention having absorption maxima in the visible region, changes occur in the color of the reaction mixture and these enable the progress of the reaction to be followed.
After the reaction time has expired, the supernatant solution is separated off, for example by filtration or decantation. The remaining solid is washed from 1 to 5 times with an inert suspension medium such as toluene, n-decane, hexane, diesel oil or dichloromethane to remove soluble constituents in the catalyst formed, in particular to remove unreacted and therefore soluble metallocene.
The supported catalyst system prepared in this way can be resuspended as vacuum-dried powder or while still moist with solvent and metered into the polymerization system as a suspension in one of the abovementioned inert suspension media.
If the polymerization is carried out as a suspension or solution polymerization, an inert solvent customary for the Ziegler low-pressure process is used. For example, the polymerization is carried out in an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon, for example propane, butane, hexane, heptane, isooctane, cyclohexane or methylcyclohexane. It is also possible to use a petroleum or hydrogenated diesel oil fraction. Toluene can also be used. Preference is given to carrying out the polymerization in the liquid monomer.
Before addition of the catalyst, in particular the supported catalyst system (comprising the metallocene of the present invention and a supported cocatalyst), it is possible to introduce, in addition, another aluminum alkyl compound such as trimethylaluminum, triethylaluminum, triisobutylaluminum, trioctylaluminum or isoprenylaluminum into the reactor to make the polymerization system inert (for example to remove catalyst poisons present in the olefin). This is added to the polymerization system in a concentration of from 100 to 0.01 mmol of Al per kg of reactor contents. Preference is given to triisobutylaluminum and triethylaluminum in a concentration of from 10 to 0.1 mmol of Al per kg of reactor contents. This makes it possible to select a small molar Al/M1 ratio in the synthesis of a supported catalyst system. If inert solvents are used, the monomers are metered in in gaseous or liquid form.
